monofilament net

rope


2 lengths of rope were seen but dive time was running out and we were unable to remove them. We also saw a large monofilament ghost net which I secured to a boulder- hopefully, the net will not move until we are able to recover it. There is a storm coming this weekend so we have our fingers' crossed it wont get washed away. Fortunately there wasn't too much marine life on the Pipe so hopefully there shouldn't be many entanglements.
